AGENCY: Occupational Safety and Health Administration, U.S. Department
of Labor.

ACTION: Extension of time for filing public comments.

SUMMARY: The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is
conducting a review of the Ethylene Oxide standard in order to
determine, consistent with Executive Order 12866 on Regulatory Planning
and Review and section 610 of the Regulatory Flexibility Act, whether
this standard should be maintained without change, rescinded, or
modified in order to make it more effective or less burdensome in
achieving its objectives, to bring it into better alignment with the
objectives of Executive Order 12866, or to make it more consistent with
the objectives of the Regulatory Flexibility Act to achieve regulatory
goals while imposing as few burdens as possible on small employers.

OSHA published a Federal Register notice on May 27, 1997 requesting
public comments concerning OSHA's review of the Ethylene Oxide standard
(29 CFR 1910.1047) and announcing a public meeting on June 30, 1997 (62
FR 28649, May 27, 1997). In the Federal Register notice announcing the
public meeting, OSHA stated that it would accept written comments
through August 1, 1997. In response to requests from persons commenting
at the public meeting held on June 30, 1997, OSHA has granted a one
week extension of the time period to file written comments.
